Tata Motors has taken the wraps off the Nexon.ev facelift. The all-electric version gets a host of design updates both inside and out. It will be launched alongside the ICE version on September 14, while bookings are slated to open on September 9.<\/span><\/p>\n Like the standard Nexon, the Nexon.ev also borrows design cues from the Curvv concept. It gets a heavily redesigned front fascia with a new LED light signature. Unlike the ICE version, the EV gets an LED light bar at the front, a body-coloured front fascia with a different air dam mesh design and new dual-tone alloy wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n The rear end of the Nexon.ev looks similar to the ICE version. It has V-shaped taillights connected by an LED light bar, a new bumper with integrated reflectors and a roof spoiler. Tata claims the new design is more aerodynamic while the LED lighting is more energy efficient, which translates to a slightly higher range.<\/span><\/p>\n The interior of the Nexon.ev is identical to the regular Nexon. It shares the same dashboard with a new centre console with haptic touch switches, a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo and a digital instrument cluster. The EV, however, gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, instead of a 10.25-inch head-unit and a 9-speaker sound system.<\/span><\/p>\n Other features offered on the Nexon.ev facelift includes a 360-degree camera, a wireless charger, ventilated front seats, an air-purifier, a single-pane sunroof, voice commands and a new Arcade.ev app suite.<\/span><\/p>\n The Nexon.ev will be available in two versions: Medium Range (MR) and Long Range (LR). The former uses a 30 kWh battery offering 325 km of range, while the LR version gets a 40.5 kWh battery that can cover 465 km on a single charge.<\/span><\/p>\n Both versions are now powered by a Gen-2 permanent magnet synchronous motor that is said to be 20 kg lighter and uses 30% less rare earth materials in its construction. Tata has also updated the battery management, brake regeneration and cooling systems.<\/span><\/p>\n The Nexon.ev MR generates 127 BHP and 215 Nm, while the LR version packs 143 BHP and 215 Nm. The car gets three drive modes: Eco, City and Sport. Tata claims a 0-100 km\/h time of 8.9 seconds for the LR version and a top speed of 150 km\/h.<\/span><\/p>\n
